Maximus announced his NANDFlasher for Xbox360:

What is the NANDFlasher?
THE FIRST PROFESSIONAL TOOL FOR ALL YOUR XBOX 360 HOMEBREW NEEDS !!
The nandflasher is basically a JTag device that lets you read and write to the X360 NAND. This requires an Exploitable console. Hmm, is my console xploitable? Well if you have a dash kernel before 8Oopsx and the console was manufactured before Jun 18, 2009, then you most likely can use this device.

A bit more details about the device was posted on eurasia.nu (http://www.eurasia.nu/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2542 ):

The product is scheduled to ship on March 26 with a retail price around USD $45. The 360 NAND Flasher will be available in two flavors; one with plastic shell (translucent-blue) and the other with clear heat-shrink plastic. The kit also includes a wiring system which will greatly reduce the install time.

An image of what is believed to be a forthcoming Xbox 360 chipset revision has been leaked onto the Internet.
The board, pictured below, is said to be the successor to the current chipset - codenamed Jasper - and features both the Xbox 360 GPU and CPU on a single die.

The combination of the two is thought to have been made possible by a die shrink, presumably to 45nm.

Thought to be codenamed Valhalla, the chipset appears to be a drastic redesign from current Xbox 360 boards. The Valhalla PCB (printed circuit board) appears to be smaller than all previous iterations, and a shuffle of I/O port positioning suggests that the board will surface in a new Xbox 360 chassis.

*UPDATE* Here's an image of the CPU/GPU 'combochip' with the heatsink removed.

Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg has claimed that Xbox 360 has "nearly twice" PS3's installed base - partly because its lack of a Blu-ray drive allows it to be sold at a more attractive price point.

The Xbox product director claimed that "being $100 cheaper [than PS3] is part of the reason we're nearly twice their installed base".

It's likely he was referring to Xbox 360's North American installed base, with 360 and PS3 widely reported to be neck-and-neck in Europe.

"Sony bet on the physical disc, and there are costs associated with that," Greenberg told Edge magazine.
"The fact that we're able to offer a console starting at $199 is a benefit of not being burdened with that cost."
